TAO YUAN INTERNATIONAL BAND FESTIVAL 2014

BULACAN WIND ORCHESTRA (BWO) in TAO YUAN INTERNATIONAL BAND FESTIVAL 2014

Tao Yuan Wind Music Festival held in Tao Yuan County, Taiwan

The Bulacan Wind Orchestra on a 5-day trip. I am lucky to be joining the BWO in this trip especially because I am not a legit member of BWO.

May 21 - 10PM flight was delayed for 3 hours due to the thunderstorm and airport operation closed in Tao Yuan. So we flew by 1AM. 
My first flight. First out of the country trip. It's a bonus to have Drew Arellano on the same flight. ;)
